I'll second the fact that Lyx makes Latex more accessible to people who've never used Latex. Then, after you've spent enough time trying to figure Lyx out, you realize you need to figure Latex out first.

That said, I'll probably never learn to write math in Latex, since Lyx makes it so easy. In ...

I'm going to be moving up from Pensacola to the NYC/Boston area, and I want to meet up with LaTeX users, geeks, etc... as I go around. How's the LaTeX community in New England? I don't think I can bring myself to drop my R's or y'all's... but we'll see how it goes.

I had done numerous searches, but I'm still a total noob, so sometimes I don't even know how to begin to look. Anyways, I found this link, http://arxiv.org/hypertex/, and it says in the example that it outputs a dvi with this code: latex link.tex
dvips -z link.dvi -o link.ps
ps2pdf link.ps link ...

Greetings!

I'm an academic professional, and I began using Latex through Lyx. I decided it would be better to just use LaTeX with a text editor (Kile in Ubuntu), since it's so hard to figure out everything with Lyx.
